Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos Bluegasm
This is my Squale 1521, I sell a few here and there, but this isn’t going anywhere. I just want to describe my experience with this watch, but it’s not perfection personified…unlike me 🙂 Firstly, it feels like the perfect size universally at 41mm. Sits up well on the wrist too. I get compliments from…

Owner Review: Tissot Banana Heritage Centenary Edition
When I first cast my eyes on the Tissot Banana Heritage Centenary Edition, I was instantly captivated by its nostalgic appeal. There’s the unmistakably vintage black dial with silver hands; the petite onion crown with the yester-year “T” signature; and most visually appealing of all, the curve silhouette of the watch’s ultra-thin stainless steel case.…

Their many accolades include…
